What is Copper Tube ?
Copper tube is a type of tubing in the shape of a cylinder which is manufacture with copper, this material is known for its impact resistance conductivity and corrosion. The main advantage is that it has capacity to carry heat and electricity, therefore its expansive use in plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems as well as in refrigeration systems and electrical applications.
It is used in the form of tubes, and this can be categorized as soft copper tubes, and rigid copper tubes. They are produced and available in different dimensions and thickness, types; seamless and welded and are used in residential homes and large industries. Copper does not corrodes or support microbial growth hence is suitable for water or gas applications.

Difference Between Copper Tube and Copper Pipe
The main difference between the copper tube and copper pipe relates to the flexibility, use and method of manufacture. Copper Tubes are more flexible since they can be bent a shaped to conform to certain routes and as such they are mainly used in refrigeration and air conditioning as well as plumbing. These are normally packaged in coils or direct lengths.
Copper pipes are inflexible and intended for plumbing systems where extensive runs are joined between only a few fixtures. Gases such as: electricity and propane, water and steam and as heating ventures. The pipes also tend to be thicker, because they are used in applications where they can experience higher pressure levels unlike tubes.
